I've been scanning HJ and Autotrader religiously along with 'Googling' any reviews that I can get my hands on online.
I need to pick up a good little hatchback, economical with fair acceleration for around the £3.5 K mark and would welcome your opinions. I have had loads of MK4 Golfs which have been great but very costly in terms of the regular faults and annoying TEE lights.
I am very open minded but took a 1.8 Ford Focus Ghia out for a run and I really liked it, one thing that I have a big problem with is how big cars seem now, the bonnet, seating, overall width, everythig seems so much bigger ( I grew up in MK1 and MK2 Golf GTi's) even the Skoda Fabia for what it is seems bulky, however the older Focus to me, seems like I am driving a car not a safety bubble on wheels.
If you can recommend me another hatchback for £3,500 I would be very interested but so far this seems to give the most for the money?
Cheers
